6:02 pm
person's blood pressure or pulse drop causing diziness or fainting. today she was apparently standing for more than an hour in hot humid weather it was 80 degrees with over 50% humidity wearing pants and long sleeves. a total setup for a vasovagal. the normal immediate treatment is for a person to lie flat. that way it's easier for blood to get from the heart to the head. one very good sign is that mrs. clinton went to her daughter's apartment rather than to a medical center and that she soon emerged apparently looking and sounding fine. >> ninan: we know mrs. clinton has had health problems in the past but what are the concerns following this incident? >> right, well, there are certainly other possibilities that can cause diziness and unstediness, we know mrs. clinton has a history of blood clots including one in her head back in 2012 when she became dehydrated from a stomach virus, fainted and suffered a concussion. and she is on a daily blood thinner which carries an increased risk of internal bleeding. the next step for her medical team to decide is what further evaluation is indicated to make sure that they are dotting all

6:06 pm
affiliated groups. >> reporter: today lynch says the greater threat to the u.s. is not well organized teams of foreigners but young loners with u.s. passports. >> the threat is primarily from those individuals who were already here, the home-grown violent extremists. in the cases that we've charged, we have seen them younger and younger. not only about half of our cases under 26, i think actually maybe a third of them are under 212. >> reporter: skillful use of social media helped isis inspire the deadliest terror attacks on u.s. soil since 9/11. first in san bernardino and then orlando. >> this is a generation that is able to meet and develop relationships entirely online. how do you deal with that. >> reporter: virtually. if you put your finger on one of the biggest changes we have seen in the development of this threat. and we do see younger people, millenials as you indicated. they live online anyway. and certainly isil was taking advantage of that, using the internet and the online virtual world not only to recruit but to
6:07 pm
pass instructions through. >> reporter: lynch says her successor must prioritize law enforcement cooperation at home and abroad. >> and that's something that i think lives on regardless of what administration is here or not. because that's an issue that transcends either politics or position t really goats to the heart of protecting who and what we are as a country. >> reporter: paula reid, cbs news, washington. >> ninan: paula reid, thank you. attorney general loretta lynch will be among our guests tomorrow morning as cbs this morning becomes the first program to broadcast live from the new smithsonian national museum of african-american history and culture in washington d.c. that's first thing tomorrow on cbs. a cbs news poll out today finds a tighter race in the key battleground state of florida. hillary clinton is now up just two points in the sunshine state. in ohio another crucial battleground, clinton maintains a lead of about seven points. for more on this here iserol
6:08 pm
barnett and cbs news election director anthony salvanto in washington. >> on this 15th anniversary of 9/11 your battleground tracker looks into how best to combat terrorism and there are big differences between donald trump and hillary clinton spoforters in answering that question, right? >> right, while most americans agree that the terrorist threat is still real and serious, the differences are that donald trump supporters are much more in favor of using military force to go against the terrorists wherever possible. hillary clinton supporters say that's part of it but not as large a part of the solution. >> let's just listen to how donald trump links terrorism to immigration. >> we're allowing people to come here and we don't know, do they turn on us? are a small percentage of them bad because if a small percentage is bad that's not acceptable. >> donald trump is seen as being less prepared to be commander in chief based on your numbers, is that changing? >> it is changing. he has made some progress on that measure over the last week
6:09 pm
or so. >> we ask people, is what is it you want to see in a commander in chief. and even though folks often talk about how much a potential president knows and how much information they have, not everyone is looking for a lot of details. what they're looking for is a president who sets the big picture, whose values take the country in the right direction, especially done all trump's voters. hillary clinton voters by contrast are looking for a president that starts with details and specifics. >> hillary clinton made wave this weekend with something she said at a fundraiser on friday. let's listen to that. >> to just be grossly generallistic, you can put half of trump's supporters into what i call the baskets of deplorables. (laughter) right? the racists, sexist, homophobic xenophobic, islam foabic, you name it.
6:10 pm
>> since then clinton said she regrets saying half but stands by the sentiments. she has been trying to woo donald trump supporters as well. any proof that that is working? >> some of his supporters of what we call reluctant republicans who have not quet been sold on donald trump. he's not doing as wells with republicans as she has been doing with democrats. but we do not see a wholesale movement of republicans over to clinton nor democrats over to trump. >> thanks for walking us through all that new information. our cbs news election director anthony salvanto, reena, back to you. >> ninan: in syria skis fire is expected to begin monday, part of an agreement between the u.s. and russia who have been fighting on opposite sides of that long and brutal war. as here's jonathan vigliotti. >> reporter: today new rounds of air strikes pounded aleppo, already raf vaj-- ravaged by the fie year civil war. more than 100 people were killed across syria in a series of weekend attacks. tomorrow's ceasefire can't come
6:11 pm
soon enough under the agreement, the u.s., russia and the russia backed assad regime will stop their air strike so humanitarian air can be delivered to civilians. u.s.-backed rebel forces have also agreed to pull back from a supply route to aleppo and create a demilitarized zone. it's the partial ceasefire holds for one week, the u.s. and russia will then carry out joint air strikes against their common enemy, the islamic state and other militant groups. secretary of state john kerry forged the deal with his russian counter part in geneva on friday and acknowledged success won't come easy. >> a similar deal was reached in february of this year. but reena t fell apart when russia moved heavy artillery into aleppo to help assad forces. >> a lot of people will be watching this one, jonathan, thank you. >> well, for nearly two weeks dozens of cargo ships belonging
